There is still some distance to go back to Hajar City.
When we first came here, it was snowing the heaviest.
We didn’t meet anyone along the way.
We occasionally passed by villages where we could see fireworks, but they were far away and we didn’t go into them.
But now spring has begun, and only half a day after walking in from the border, we encountered a checkpoint.
Wang Chu lay lazily on Rias's shoulder, closing his eyes and enjoying the long-lost gentle sunshine, and heard the voice in his ears.
"Is this a checkpoint?
Why don't we seem to see it when we come here?"
Rias asked.
Several students around her looked at each other.
None of them had been to such a far place.
It is estimated that only Fiona can answer.
This question.
The so-called checkpoints are just a few wooden barriers set up in the middle of the road, and then soldiers check the passage in turn.
After seeing the expeditionary force approaching, the soldiers on the level made stop gestures far apart.
"When we came, it happened to be the time when the snow was the heaviest, so there was no one there.
The checkpoints in this area were originally set up to restrict people from the desert areas from escaping to the empire without authorization, so that's why they were set up."
Even the checkpoints can be so casual.
Where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, human kindness is indeed greater than the system.
Wang Chu opened his eyes and stood up.
In front of him were about a dozen soldiers guarding the checkpoint.
Because they were all soldiers in remote areas, their armed appearance was very simple.
They looked almost the same as those in desert countries.
They wore a few more clothes. piece of clothing.
The large city in the western part of the Ashtar Empire is Hajar City.
In theory, the urban soldiers in these remote towns should be under the jurisdiction of Hajar City.
After hearing that Edmund and several other generals revealed their identities, the dozen or so soldiers were so frightened that they immediately packed their belongings and directly invited the team to rest in a nearby town without checking.
Several soldiers rode on their fast cars.
The horse ran desperately in the opposite direction.
It was probably reported to the senior management here.
Well, Wang Chu thought it looked like a superior leader inspecting work.
Then Edmund faced everyone and used his magic to speak loudly.
"We are still more than ten days away from Hajar City.
The town under this area is called Wardson Town.
Since we are here, we will go to the town to rest for a while before setting off."
"What do you think, Chief Kajimi?"
After all, the other party is a chief, and Edmund still has to show the respect he deserves.
Kajimi did not ride here but followed the team in the center.
She was surrounded by soldiers from Siwa City, just a little behind where Rias was.
"Everything in the empire's territory here is subject to the arrangements of the Great Master."
"That's good, let's go to town first."
Great, someone in the team said happily.
Finally, we arrived at a town.
We had been walking in the desert for many days, and we already smelled of it.
Several students also cheered happily.

Aier walked closest to Kajimi.
Although the soldiers around her were staring at her fiercely, she was still a Paladin after all.
She had an innate sense of honor and Kajimi had no intention of hating him.
She was often generous.
Lean in shamelessly.
"Princess Kajimi, you will arrive in the small town of the empire soon.
I can take you to see the customs and customs of the empire."
"Okay" a standard etiquette smile.
Alas, he was still too young, so he sighed inwardly when he saw it.
I noticed that Edmund didn't say the departure time.
It seemed that he was here to inspect the work.
He moved left and right along Rias's body and looked around.
Mountain forests had appeared since entering the Asta Empire.
After winter, many plants sprouted new buds.
He could understand the words of the birds that occasionally flew by.
A few soldiers from the checkpoint were left behind, and all the rest led the expeditionary force and the chief of Siwa City.
Wardson Town is the town closest to the desert country.
Many buildings here also have the style of desert residents.
Among them, Wang Chu also saw some people with brown skin.
They were desert residents, as were the stalls on the street.
Goods are available from both countries.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Can I have a moment?
Can I have a moment?"
A team of thousands of people entered the city and almost blocked most of the largest street.
Everyone looked behind them, and saw a fast horse running towards the front of the team as if it was desperate for its life.
"You don't want your life.
This is the street.
How can you run around?"
"Sorry, sorry" Everyone ran away, leaving only a beautiful figure behind.
The other soldiers in the team were about to chase them back, especially the soldiers from Wardson Town.
Their immediate boss was here.
How could such a thing happen?
"It's okay, it's okay."
Edmund waved his hand and said, maybe he just came out of the torturous desert.
Today's Grand Master seems to be in a good mood.
Wardson Town is located on the border, and the folk customs here are not as good as those in Hajar City.
It’s normal to have etiquette.
"Who is this person?
He is so rude and he is actually a girl."
Cecia, a member of the student team, frowned and looked at the end of the road.
She could no longer see the shadow of the person running past.
There were not many pedestrians on the street, which was incomparable to a big city like Hajar City.
In addition, there were local soldiers leading the way.
Those pedestrians who saw the team approaching were very interested and occupied the stores or alleys on both sides.

"Where is that place over there?
She looks quite anxious when she's on her way."
Rias looked ahead.
At this time, the team happened to pass by a store with an open window.
It was a fruit seller.
She weighed the money bag on her belt.
When she came out of the house, she brought a lot of money with her.
There is no use for it on the road.
"How much do these cost?"
Watch the old man in the store draw a few numbers.
An old man who looked to be in his sixties was wearing several big patched robes, and there were these pet birds hanging above the window.
"Hello, hello."
Wang Chu heard the other party greeting him, and then tilted his head to look at him.
"By the way, old man, do you know where the place is ahead?"
Rias asked, pointing to the place where the person running past disappeared.
"Oh, up front.
Are you adventurers too?
Why haven't I seen you before?
There are also people from the desert.
Turn right ahead and turn right at the end of the adventurer guild hall.
You can go to that place to receive quests.
The nearest mayor is A new mission has been released.
I heard that the reward is good, and many people are rushing to go.
"Although the old man's hearing is not very good, he can speak very fluently.
Of course, he has seen some people from the desert after living here for a long time.
"It turns out that that's the Adventurer's Guild Hall."
Rias looked ahead.
In other words, the person just now was probably an adventurer.
He went to take on the mission and bought some fruits.
Adventurers Guild.
It is the place where adventurers receive daily tasks.
Unlike Rias and Eru, who are nobles with backgrounds, many people born as commoners do not receive a good education and cannot enter colleges and universities, nor can they directly become managers.
The upper class can only rely on these ordinary tasks to get ahead little by little.
It is said that adventurers also have levels.
High-level adventurers not only have rich practical experience, but are also as capable as members of the Magician Association or Paladins.
Rias returned to the team holding the fruit and told Lucia what happened.
"Oh, that's it, then have you asked what the mission is?"
